Who will win the ODI Series between England and WI

[atisha_ro]

england, with maybe, just maybe a game won by the windies.
england's batting line-up looks better to me.

 

[Richard]

In Tests, yeah. Rather a different story in ODIs.

 

[atisha_ro]

as i've seen from the west indies in the world cup, they didn't look amazing at bat, even with lara. i don't really know who can make such an impact now.
and, well... odis at the end of a tour will find them consumed - who knows?
only if england will relax thinking at the battle with india, otherwise i just don't see them losing.
(unless they repeat that legendary hour of today - unlikely though).

WI should be favourites (you'd think), but I have a gut feeling it will be England. Might actually be a good series in terms of competitiveness.

 

[Perm]

West Indies should dominate, especially if England continue to select Strauss and Vaughan at the top of the order and rubbish in their bowling attack.

Can't see it tbh. Their confidence is being eroded in these test matches. No Lara any more. England to clean up imo

Can't believe no-one has noticed this yet...

England should win

windies comprehensively

I agree.

Strangest thread. Refuse to give a serious opinion based on that.

Give him a break Prince...he's 10 mate

Are there any members left who aren't 10?

Seriously though, I wasn't aware of that. But my post still stands. There's cutting people some slack and there's just letting them get away with ridiculousness.

Oh yeah, but better to just let these things slide sometimes rather than try to make a fool of people...doesn't achieve much really

TBH, I haven't a clue as in ODIs both have been as crap as each other....but the Windies might be about to give us a helping hand with the captaincy:

Considering Ganga's ODI average is 25 and his SR is 59 (he nearly makes Vaughan look good) if we are sensible enough to drop Vaughan and the Windies appoint Ganga we'd be favourites. But we won't drop Vaughan so it will be two poor teams with two captains who shouldn't be there = anybody's guess.

 

[GIMH]

We'll take the ODIs 2-1 but lose both T20s IMO

 

[TT Boy]

West Indies won't win a game.

 

[GIMH]

Nah we'll contrive to lose some limited overs stuff

 

[Perm]

Most IMO. Pietersen can't carry England forever, and as long as they're picking substandard players like Vaughan, Panesar and Strauss then I can't see them doing that well.

 

[TT Boy]

We have beaten the West Indies in are last two meetings and now Bradshaw and Lara have gone, I can’t see them given much fight especially if the likes of Daren Ganga are going to feature.

 

[superkingdave]

tbh, with the problems the wi are having i think it would be really poor if we didn't win the series. 2-1 imo

It was even stranger before someone decided to delete those multiple posts.

Not all the Test and ODI players are the same, and it is possible to make a clean break when the game you're playing changes.

Uh, who the hell is voting for the Windies? I'm sorry, but this West Indian side doesn't stand a chance in either format. Their only shining light in the World Cup was pretty much Lara, and possibly Ramdin. And now with Lara gone...away from home...They'll get hammered.
